Same basic requirements for becoming proficient with firearms. Squeezing more with one hand than the other, putting slightly more weight on one foot than the other, leaning, knee bending, target acquisition after first shot, etc...

A lot of people don't have enough self-awareness to know what they are doing with their arm or knees or weight. While instructing people, I've told them to lean forward a bit and they put their head down or bend their knees. I've told them to move their right foot back and they point their right toes out. Or to pull with their off hand and push with their gun hand and they lean back... (it's such a WTF moment for me) My guess is that you'll be a great shooter with practice.
Im heading your way this summer, want to meet up for a range day?
